The n900 is about a year old, hardly obselete. I can get a good quality second hand one for about the same as my Pandora refund. The (MeeGo) n9 won't be out until next year and the whole point is that I want an arm based mobile computing device that meets my requirements NOW. It's worth noting...

I'm around the same place in the queue and I'm about to cancel. I was never interested in the Pandora for games, I wanted a UMPC. The Pandora isn't cutting edge like it would have been had it been released when we were initially lead to believe it would be. I wish the team all the best despite...

This is exactly how Dominions 3 works, most games are play-by-email, you submit your turn file then once every day or two the game server emails you the next turn. It works very well but I imagine some thought must be put in at design time to make it all work properly. For the record I think...

I don't know if they have ever made a definitive statement about it, but there have been persistent rumours in numerous places on the net for many years.

The Daggrefall source code has been lost, there are no known copies in existance.

With the utmost respect and understanding: I don't think it's us customers who are the worst offenders when it comes to guesstimating. No, you can't have my order number :)

While I accept the benefits of Android on Pandora I for one won't be using it, and I would be very unhappy if it was to become the preferred operating system for the device. I'm a Linux guy, have been for more than a decade, I have no intention of going back to proprietary operating systems. If...

No. The book was much more depressing than the game :)

Robocop is an OK movie, I'll grant you that, but there are many much better examples of the genre IMO. Even in Verhoven's work I much prefer Starship Troopers. Personally I think Blade Runner, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Screamers and Minority Report are all stronger contenders for best, Silent...

I got an F100 early on, before the joystick fix. I got an F200 too a bit later, nice d-pad (buttons?) shame about the firmware. I bought Payback too and still play it a lot. I love my GP2Xs.

I'm going on holiday at the end of May. </cliché> It's my first holiday in a long time. There are people here where who weren't born the last time I had a holiday. Last night I ordered a SmartQ V5. I worried that it may be a complete waste of money as my Pandora might just be with me before I...

I think the philosophy behind the device is very interesting. I won't be getting one, but if I wasn't getting a Pandora then I just might.

That makes perfect sense. I started with LFS back in 1999 for the same reason, then moved on to SGL and forks. These days I mostly used Ubuntu for ease and Arch when I need more control. I heard some talk of that on Pandora. I've got Arch running on my beagleboard right now but it will take...

...or have a few million zombies try to log in repeatedly with no success, that could be more than a little annoying.

Not much figuring really. I'm using an unbranded version of this. The 5v port (USB) is only rated at 1A so I'm using that to power the beagleboard and my head mounted display. I have a voltage regulator wired up to the 19v port which is rated at 3.5A, and I'm using that to supply 5v to a powered...

Meh, I have an 18000mah battery for my beagleboard :P

Agreed. The only downside I can see is for those who wish to flaunt their pre-order status, and that's covered by the serial number. Ship ASAP, Moore's law has already made the Pandora significantly less cool than it would have been if it had shipped in Nov 2008 as initially planned, let's not...

I don't mind, I kinda like the idea of a stealth Pandora and I'd hate ANOTHER delay. Considering I'm one of the original pre-orders I think I've waited more than long enough as it is.
